The rhythms of our neural firing at any time defines who we are. The book is explaining a complex topic in way that is easy for all to understand, thus making them easier to apply to our lives. In this case, it suggests that your personality relates to neuronal activity at any given time. It can be concluded that since the activity of your neurons plays such a significant role in our cognitive state, a disruption or chronic hindrance of this activity will lead to negative emotions, such as aggression or anger. "So who you are depends on what your neurons are up to, moment by moment." ]]> 2019-11-20 18:07:49 UTC https://padlet.com/parjit_khakh_01/Essay4/wish/414190003 parjit_khakh_01 https://padlet.com/parjit_khakh_01/Essay4/wish/414212373  Describes the emotional along with the physical impacts that sleep deprivation can have. The example confirms that staying awake will negatively impact our mood. Adults need 7-8 hours of sleep while adolescents need at least 10 to properly function. This source also relates to the concept of sleep and "cleaning" in the brain. This clarified to me that the lack of sleep correlates with a negative emotional state, however raises the question of how this is possible in the first place. "When we lose sleep, learning, memory, mood, and reaction time are affected." ]]> 2019-11-20 18:32:53 UTC https://padlet.com/parjit_khakh_01/Essay4/wish/414212373 parjit_khakh_01 https://padlet.com/parjit_khakh_01/Essay4/wish/414219207 The lack of sleep can hinder the brain’s ability to “clean,” which can lead to reduced cognitive function and lead to various illnesses. Sleep is a time for the brain to clear out toxins, or broken down byproducts of cells using energy during the day. From the information presented, it can be extrapolated that the lack of sleep can lead to serious consequences. I think many of us overlook the need for sleep when it comes to getting work done. The article gives a "behind the scenes" look at what is going on in the brain while we sleep. "In one set of studies, ... the Veasey lab found that while our brains can recover quite readily from short-term sleep loss, chronic prolonged wakefulness and sleep disruption stresses the brain’s metabolism."]]> 2019-11-20 18:41:32 UTC https://padlet.com/parjit_khakh_01/Essay4/wish/414219207 parjit_khakh_01 https://padlet.com/parjit_khakh_01/Essay4/wish/414220209 Every night we cycle through four stages of sleep, each stage causing a shift in brain activity. The article explores these stages in depth. occurs. In order to understand how sleep relates to our cognitive state, it is essential to understand what is occurring in the brain while we sleep. How do the stages of sleep tie into emotions? I think the brain activity occurring during these stages in regions of the brain related to emotions and cognitive state.

Sleep deprivation can also have various negative effects on our emotions as well as emotional reactivity. I feel this accurately proves how the lack of sleep leads to a negative emotional perception while highlighting that specifically REM deprivation can lead to such a thing. The article addresses emotional reactivity, however can you become an angry person in general with chronic sleep loss? "These studies indicate that the nature of sleep deprivation affects results, with different sleep stages exerting different effects on performance."]]> 2019-11-20 18:52:27 UTC https://padlet.com/parjit_khakh_01/Essay4/wish/414227591 parjit_khakh_01 https://padlet.com/parjit_khakh_01/Essay4/wish/414230272 This demonstrates how the lack of sleep can impact our social life. The stages of sleep, REM sleep in particular, are necessary for proper cognitive function. The article also validates the notion that while sleep plays a significant role in determining our emotional state, the lack of sleep will cause us to negatively think of others. I think when we lack proper sleep hygiene and run on only a few hours of sleep, we tend to become hasty towards others. “After a sleepless night, research participants were less accurate at judging the emotions of happiness or anger in pictures of strangers, compared with their performance on this task after a good night’s rest.”  ]]> 2019-11-20 18:55:52 UTC https://padlet.com/parjit_khakh_01/Essay4/wish/414230272 parjit_khakh_01 https://padlet.com/parjit_khakh_01/Essay4/wish/415623201  Deep investigation of the connection between emotional reactivity and REM deprivation. Brain activity during NREM and REM sleep stages influences mood during daytime hours. Taking a deep look into the brain, the article explains what parts of the brain relate to this issue. The article answers questions that may have arisen as to what parts of the brain relate to emotions and lack of sleep. This shows how certain aspects of the brain influence others. "In summary, sleep deprivation, and in particular REM deprivation, can increase daytime negative emotions and emotional reactivity to stimuli, though increased positive ratings have also been found."]]> 2019-11-23 08:55:55 UTC https://padlet.com/parjit_khakh_01/Essay4/wish/415623201 parjit_khakh_01 https://padlet.com/parjit_khakh_01/Essay4/wish/415623630  This source agrees that REM deprivation leads to increased aggression. However, the authors elucidate their point in a unique way. The article proved that REM deprivation also correlates to aggression in rats.  I think this article raises a debatable topic since other sources have found that men and women experience the same effects of sleep deprivation whereas this article claims these effects are different. "Further, REM sleep deprivation was related to aggression and sleep reduction was at the expense of REM and stage 2 sleep."]]> 2019-11-23 09:00:30 UTC https://padlet.com/parjit_khakh_01/Essay4/wish/415623630 parjit_khakh_01 https://padlet.com/parjit_khakh_01/Essay4/wish/415623924 T article points to how sleep cycles and sleep in general play a key role in anger. It also explains that rather than anger simply gradually increasing, some type of provocation is required. The article elucidates the importance of REM for emotional processioning. I had not realized that we must take provocation into consideration when examining the impacts sleep deprivation. "Although there are many reasons why sleep disruption may be connected to anger and aggression, the present findings clearly point to sleep loss as an important causal factor in anger."]]> 2019-11-23 09:03:10 UTC https://padlet.com/parjit_khakh_01/Essay4/wish/415623924 parjit_khakh_01 https://padlet.com/parjit_khakh_01/Essay4/wish/416009042 Reporters at CBS Philly show how sleep deprivation can lead to anger. Reporters also interview everyday people that agree their lack of sleep has led to negative emotions such as anger or irritation. In addition, they suggest ways to combat this issue. Surprisingly, sleep deprivation goes up between the months of November and January. "Someone whose tired has less of an ability to concentrate, and that can affect mood." ]]> 2019-11-25 06:48:23 UTC https://padlet.com/parjit_khakh_01/Essay4/wish/416009042 parjit_khakh_01 https://padlet.com/parjit_khakh_01/Essay4/wish/416017012 Survey of 50 college students between the ages of 17 and 25 at Diablo Valley College. The survey assesses how widespread the issue of sleep deprivation among college students is. When prompted whether they feel they receive enough sleep at night, 58% of the participants responded “No” due to their heavy school workload. Students were asked, “On average how many hours of sleep do you get each night?” Answers ranging from 3 all the way up to 10.  After averaging out the hours of my sample, the typical college student receives about 6.12 hours of sleep a night. When participants were asked, “Has your lack of sleep ever negatively impacted your social interaction with others?,” an astounding 76% of participants responded “Yes.” Most participants associated this negative social interaction with annoyance and not wanting to be around others.]]> 2019-11-25 07:27:43 UTC https://padlet.com/parjit_khakh_01/Essay4/wish/416017012 parjit_khakh_01 https://padlet.com/parjit_khakh_01/Essay4/wish/416017123 2019-11-25 07:28:04 UTC https://padlet.com/parjit_khakh_01/Essay4/wish/416017123 parjit_khakh_01 https://padlet.com/parjit_khakh_01/Essay4/wish/421394905 Investigates the hypothesis that sleep deprivation leads to a short temper, which hinders the ability of young adults in college to properly socially interact with others because sleep plays a significant role in determining our emotional state. Upon research, the essay finds that while sleep deprivation is tied to anger, specifically the REM stage of sleep,  sleepiness, and provocation is what leads to increased anger. Raises an interesting question about  what makes the neural structure in the individuals that claim they can properly function on reduced hours of sleep different? "Although each stage is important for the brain to function at its full capacity, the lack of one particular stage, REM sleep, has proven to be the root of negative social interaction.]]> 2019-12-08 23:45:36 UTC https://padlet.com/parjit_khakh_01/Essay4/wish/421394905
